Security

Thingstream enables IoT connectivity over GSM without the need for cellular data, which does not require TCP-IP, hereby enhancing cyber security and providing a more secure means for connectivity.

The Internet of Things (IoT) presents incredible potential to drive transformational change across every industry, the world over. However, as enterprises progress initiatives to connect the environment and things across their operations, the scale of vulnerability and exposure to their organisations grows – making securing IoT the single biggest challenge faced by IT leaders embracing the technology.

Critical to the success of most IoT deployments, from predictive maintenance to process automation, is the ability to connect machines to the cloud. It is the connection between operational technology (machine) and an IT system (the cloud) that is compromised in the majority of IoT breaches. Therefore, if IoT connectivity can be enabled without a TCP-IP (internet) requirement, the connection will be inherently more secure.

As members of the IoT Security Foundation we belong to a dedicated global community addressing IoT security challenges head on.

No TCP-IP

Thingstream’s connectivity platform can be leveraged to provide unprecedented security as there is effectively no ‘internet’ present when connecting a machine/IoT device to a cloud system. It is therefore impervious to an internet related security threat.

Reduce Complexity

The multiple layers that are currently involved in connecting a device can make it more likely to be intercepted. Thingstream simplifies IoT connectivity and reduces the complexity of working with multiple solutions across multiple suppliers.

No heavy security products

Thingstream’s connectivity platform can be leveraged to provide unprecedented security as there is effectively no ‘internet’ present when connecting a machine/IoT device to a cloud system. It is therefore impervious to an internet related security threat.
